Winner of EURO 2025 as a member of the historic England Lionesses team, Lucy Bronze is the ultimate football heroine! The trailblazing defender also has helped England to Euro 2022 glory, earned multiple World Cup medals, and was named FIFA Best Women’s Player in 2020. Her warrior mentality on the pitch is an inspiration to thousands of young fans.
Playing in her best position as a roving right-back, Bronze loves to get forward on the pitch and has scored some sensational volleys in huge matches for club and country! Her story is one of defying the odds: she overcame career-threatening knee injuries and was told she would never again play for England to become one of the finest and most-decorated English players in women’s football. An inspiration to young girls and boys alike.
The Football Superstars series is aimed at building a love of reading from a young age, with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
